Finally, he took a deep look at Chiyo's bedroom. Bai Shuiqiu let out a long sigh of relief, then turned back to his bedroom, and continued to draw the [shengjin symbol] for a while, and went to bed on time after half past ten.

   No words for a night.

   The next day, everything is business as usual.

   Bai Shuiqiu woke up early as usual, went to Houshan for a morning exercise, then had breakfast with Hyuga Asuka, and went down the mountain to take a car from Jindai's family to Narita High School.

   During the morning break, Keiko Kamidai looked for an opportunity to approach him and asked Bai Shuiqiu about Suzuki Zhuxi.

  -Yesterday afternoon, when Zhuxi Suzuki and Jubei went to visit the shrine on Mount Tianmu, they had a face-to-face meeting with Keiko Kandaro.

Keiko Kashiro’s brain and memory have always been good. Although it has been more than a month, she recognized the identities of Suzuki Juki and Jubei for the first time, but she did not speak before, and kept the problem silent until now. Asked it out.

   This time, Bai Shuiqiu didn't hide it.

   Except for the part of the information about the old monster and Fujiwara Nanami, she had consciously said about it, and basically told the truth about the other things.

After all, Ryoko has been following the affairs of the White Lotus Sect. Keiko Kandaji may have collected some information about Lantern Mountain, but it is not very detailed. The previous perfunctory remarks about her grandma were not mentioned to her at all. necessary. And Keiko Kashiro's expression quickly became tense:

   "Is it a monster stronger than Painted Skin, do you need me to send someone to help?"

"No need to."

   Bai Shui Qiuxin said that the monsters this time are not comparable to Painted Skin, and said that the [Chikyoubori] that was discovered by the clergy from Tokyo that year was a genuine intermediate-level monster, at least as powerful as Inujin. Coupled with being in the fog of Lantern Mountain, ordinary people may die as many as possible.

   But this kind of thing is impossible to say to Keiko Kashiro.

   "Anyway..."

   Bai Shuiqiu took a deep breath, raised his head, and confronted Keiko Kamidai: "This action is indeed dangerous, but I promise that I will return smoothly. Just trust me."

"Ok."

Under Bai Shuiqiu's gaze, Keiko Kandaro flushed slightly, but he nodded solemnly and stretched out the little finger of his right hand: "I believe you, Xiaoqiu, when you act, I will take care of the shrine. By the side. But when you come back, you must tell me what happened this time."

"Ok?"

   means to stretch out the little finger, is to pull the hook?

   Bai Shuiqiu was taken aback for a while before he smiled, and stretched out his little finger, and pulled him together with Keiko Kanda: "I will."

  Because they were in the school, the two of them did not do anything extraordinary, and quickly separated their right hands and sat back where they were.

   When the bell rings for the next lesson, the lesson will continue.

   The next half day passed without any attention.

   After school in the afternoon, Bai Shuiqiu took the time to go to the archery club to find the old monster, and told her the action plan that he had discussed with Suzuki Zhuxi and others.

Jiufeng Shiyuan put one hand on her chest, and the other hand resting her chin, listening to her finish: "It doesn't sound like a big problem, as long as you don’t venture into it casually, just send me a message when you start to act tomorrow. I will keep my distance and follow you behind."

   After a pause, Jiufeng Shiyuan asked again: "By the way, have you seen the Rain Girl in the past few days?"

"No…"

   Bai Shuiqiu shook his head.

   After asking Yu Nv’s name that day and failing, she has not seen Yu Nv near her shrine for several days. Originally, she wanted to find this woman in green for some information...

   "Is this..."

Jiufeng Ziyuan groaned for a moment, and shook his head: "It looks like that woman shouldn't have done anything yet, otherwise I can almost feel some signs of spiritual power fluctuations...don't care about that much, and act according to the current plan. , Remember to be careful at all things, and use that feather to inform me of any situation in time."

"I see."

   After a few more words, Bai Shuiqiu left the kyudo club ahead of time, met with Keiko Kamidai at the teaching building, and drove home.

  ...

at the same time.

   is in the mountains nearly a hundred miles away.

A woman in a green shirt appeared silently on a hill tens of meters high, facing a mountain covered by thick white fog, and looked towards the mountain without expression. Underfoot.

   There is a very spacious courtyard.

   Some people wearing monk robes of various colors are walking back and forth in the yard, seeming to be busy preparing something. Among them is an old man wearing a purple monk robe, who looks particularly eye-catching. Under Yu Nu's gaze, I saw this guy with two disciples, pushing two carts of raw meat, and walking towards Lantern Mountain.

   The meat of this car was obviously just slaughtered, and it was still oozing blood, and Bai Sensen's bone stubble could be seen between the reddish skin.

   When I reached the mountain pass, the white mist seemed to have separated a small opening, as if a giant beast opened its mouth, put them in, and then slowly closed it.

   A few people pushed the trolley, and soon disappeared on the mountain road, nowhere to be seen.

   "Believers... Are you...

Chapter 349

   Rain Girl lowered her eyes slightly, watching the scene that happened at the foot of Lantern Mountain.

Until the mist swallowed the old man in the purple monk robe, the woman in green slowly raised her head and turned her gaze to the Lantern Mountain covered by the mist. Behind the white scene, I could vaguely feel a faint breath. Floating slowly, as if something was brewing.

   "Heh...a group of...false gods..."

   This sound seemed to disturb something.

   After a while, I saw a group of black birds flying out of Lantern Mountain and circled in the sky.

   From a distance, it seemed that this was just a group of wandering crows. The monks in the courtyard had become accustomed to them and showed no surprise. After looking up, they lowered their heads and continued to do their own things.

But if someone observes carefully with a telescope, they will find that the bodies of these things seem to be wrapped in mud. When flying around the sky, the body is still dripping with muddy water and falling to the ground. , Leaving black spots.

   Yu Nui glanced, took a step back, and disappeared on the low mountain.

From beginning to end, the woman in green barely leaked the slightest breath. It was not until her figure disappeared from the top of the mountain that a few black birds flew over, looked down a few times from above, and then put it away. The wings fell, and the feathers were combed on a tree trunk.

   high in the sky.

   A dark cloud gradually condensed and formed at an extremely slow speed.

   In a quiet scene, there seems to be an invisible undercurrent, quietly surging...

  ……

   Bai Lianzong held a rally at 8 o'clock on Saturday night.

Since the purpose of the Narita Police Station is to arrest the "elders" and the main backbone of this religion, it is naturally impossible to wait for their gatherings to start before running to join in the fun. Instead, they have to ambush ahead of time and arrange for manpower to come to the gathering in advance. Observe the stepping points near the location.

   Therefore, according to Kurimi Nariya's plan, he rushed over on Saturday morning.

   After discussing with Suzuki Zhuxi, Bai Shuiqiu decided to follow the police together.

"Lantern Mountain is such a big place. It is unrealistic and unnecessary to bypass the police during the operation. The people of Bailianzong chose to set the meeting place at the foot of Lantern Mountain. It is not necessarily accidental. Maybe they and the people on Lantern Mountain There is collusion between things, we still observe the situation first, and then make a decision."

   Suzuki Zhuxi said so.

   After saying this, the girl seemed to hesitate for a while, then added in a low voice: "When you act tomorrow, everyone must be careful...

   Xiaoqiu, you have been in the countermeasures team for a short time, and you may have seen a little bit less supernatural events. In fact, in many cases, the most threatening to us is not the evil spirits who are in trouble, but the humans who are betraying them. If it’s a practitioner, it’s better to deal with it, but if it’s an ordinary person with a wrong mind...

   These people often do things that ordinary people cannot understand in order to satisfy their own selfish desires. If they cannot be identified in time, it is likely to bring catastrophic consequences. Someone in the countermeasure team has died because of such things. "

  "..."

   Bai Shuiqiu was silent for a moment, then nodded: "I remember it."

   She has indeed never encountered the kind of situation Suzuki Zhuxi said, but regardless of collusion with monsters or not, Bai Lianzong is undoubtedly a hot potato. Like the group of rioters who set fire to the house in Hyuga's house before, if there were not a dozen, but dozens or hundreds... I am afraid it would not be so easy to deal with.

   can only pin their hopes on the police, and they can act as a deterrent against this group of cultists.

   Bai Shuiqiu and Suzuki Zhuxi have already discussed.

   Kurimitari Naruya naturally doesn't have any opinions there.

This police officer can be regarded as someone who has experienced several spiritual events personally. He also knew a little bit of strange rumors about Lantern Mountain before. He was not very surprised by the appearance of Suzuki Juki and Jubei. He quickly referred the police station. The various arrangements and confession.

So far, the police are not sure what method the Bailian religious who participated in this rally will use to get to the rally site. Considering that there may only be one road in and out of Lantern Mountain, and the road conditions are likely to not be too good, in order to avoid the group The cultists encountered it, and the departure time was set at three o'clock in the morning on Saturday morning, which is the early hours of the morning.

   For this reason, Bai Shuiqiu deliberately washed up and went to bed a few hours earlier on Friday night, and went to bed from 7:30 to 2 in the morning before being awakened by the alarm clock he set in advance.

   "Is it time..."

   Bai Shuiqiu pressed the alarm clock, rubbed his sleepy eyes, and sat up. After spending a few minutes on the bed, he got up and turned on the lamp. He checked his backpack under the dim light.

   The backpack was packed last night. It looks swollen, but the weight is not very heavy.

  Kiki is still packed in a black box. The two sides of this box have parts similar to rope buckles, which can be passed through with a rope, and then lifted up and carried on the shoulder.

The backpack contained mainly some talismans, magical artifacts, replacement clothes for the puppet dolls, and some quick foods such as bread and chocolate. If no accident, she would at least stay on Lantern Mountain. All day long, in order to avoid hunger in the past, these things must be brought.

   In addition, in order to ensure sufficient damage to evil spirits, Bai Shuiqiu also deliberately brought the catalpa bow in the shrine and a set of "devil-broken arrows" in a quiver.

   These arrows were all blessed by her own hands with spiritual power. Compared with ordinary aluminum alloy arrows, they have a little more effect of driving away ghosts and killing evil spirits.

   Of course, just this way, it is not really a real magic arrow.

  If you can borrow a pack of monster tail feathers from the old monster to make a set of arrows, maybe it’s a different matter...

   "Hoo...it's time to go."

   Bai Shuiqiu hurriedly washed, dressed neatly, slipped a chocolate bar into his mouth, then picked up the backpack and black box, and finally glanced at his room before turning off the light and going out.

   At this point in time, Chiyo and Hyuga Asuka are asleep.

   Bai Shuiqiu didn't wake anyone, walked gently through the corridor, pushed open the door, and then left the shrine.

   A police car was already waiting here when walking along the road to the foot of the mountain. Zhuxi Suzuki poked his head out of the rear window and beckoned to her: "Xiao Qiu, here."

"coming."

   Bai Shuiqiu answered, walked quickly to the front, opened the door and got into the car.

   Kuri Misari, who was in charge of driving, also stepped on the accelerator, drove away from Tianmu Mountain, and drove all the way to the west in the direction of Sakura City.

   "If you still feel sleepy, you can lie down in the car for a while. You may not have much time to rest today, so make sure you have enough energy." Suzuki Zhuxi turned his head and glanced at Bai Shuiqiu, and said with concern.

   "It's okay, I have slept for seven or eight hours."

Bai Shuiqiu smiled, put the backpack on his body under his legs, then looked through the rearview mirror to the road behind, and found no sign of the second car following behind: "Participating in this operation, Are there really only a few of us?"

   "Do you mean the police or the countermeasures team?"

   Suzuki Zhuxi said softly: "If it's the former, we deliberately followed Police Officer Kurimi's car to pick you up. The others are in the city, waiting for orders...

If it’s the latter, I’ve already contacted Secretary Fujiwara yesterday. She is going to transfer the Aikawa brothers who are now in Sijiao City to come and assist us, but the earliest time is this morning, so we are still acting according to the plan of only three of us. Bar.

   In fact, there are too many people, it may not be a good thing. In a place like Lantern Mountain, once chaos occurs, the situation will be more difficult to control than there are few people. "

"Yes…"

   Bai Shuiqiu nodded.

   The air in the carriage fell silent.

   Before he could speak, Bai Shuiqiu sent a message to Jiufeng Shiyuan on LINE, and he also posted his own position. About half a minute, he got the latter's reply, saying that he had set off from home.

   Confirming that the old monster did not release his pigeons, Bai Shuiqiu breathed a sigh of relief, put his phone down, put his hands on his chest, closed his eyes and rested.

   The car is speeding all the way.

   When passing through the central area, two more police cars drove out of the road beside them, and they followed Kuri Miyoshi's car.

  According to Suzuki Zhuxi's statement just now, they should all be police officers from Narita Police Station who were arranged to participate in this operation together.

   Not counting the members of Bai Shuiqiu and their three countermeasure teams, the three police cars together contained almost a dozen officers. Basically, they mobilized more than half of the criminal team of the Narita Police Station. It was a large-scale operation.

   At this point in time, it is the wee hours of the morning, when the night is the darkest.

   Under the dark night, there are moons and no stars, and the long streets are empty.

   The three police cars passed through the city silently, and galloped all the way to the west of the city.

   After driving out of downtown Narita, the road gradually became remote.

   Japan is also a mountainous country.

  Many of these mountainous areas have been developed into tourist places such as hot springs and resorts, but more mountainous areas still retain relatively primitive ecology. For example, the mountains between Narita City and Sakura City belong to the latter. This area stretches for tens of kilometers, and there are more than a dozen hills, large and small, but although there are many mountains, there are no resources worth developing.

   Lantern Mountain is the hinterland of this mountainous area.

   Compared with the places close to the outside, this area is even less populated, and it is not an important way of transportation. There are only a few roads that are not too spacious, which were used by the villagers who lived in the mountains back then.

  Because of disrepair for a long time, it has become rugged and unbearable. In some places, you can still see the rut marks pressed out by the car.

   This kind of place, it is naturally impossible to have street lights, and the police did not dare to turn on the lights out of concerns about the grass and startled snakes, so they could only lower the speed of the car, and slowly moved forward under the not too bright moonlight.
